The thought of sleeping under the stars in the Highlands is beyond my imagination...and I'm not even a camper!<br /><br />I am still fuzzy on what the land act did for the crofters. Do they actually own portions of the land? Or do they just have rights to come and go and fish, etc? <br /><br />And PS - Michelle - thanks for the info - I updated the post so people know Fabio won't last long. :)Purgatory Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04206226666250028550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193939705192575193.post-21932084198095812082011-07-28T13:28:25.583-04:002011-07-28T13:28:25.583-04:00I just got back from backpacking around the highla...I just got back from backpacking around the highlands and this is my general take. Most landowners in the highlands still possess the open arm welcome onto their land, but you must also respect the land. On numerous occasions I was invited for tea and snack, that is after I asked if I could camp on their land. If you are just walking on trails that cross different peoples property... follow the rules of respecting and not disturbing any farm life etc.<br /><br /><br />I also did not spend much time in the tourist areas, and most places I went are not over crowded with cars or RVs. <br /><br />This is my second trip backpacking in the highlands, the first was in 2004. That trip is spent more time in the "crowded" part of the highlands, and landowners were less hospitable. But that is not saying much, less hospitable in Scotland still trumps the hospitality in many parts of the states. That is my two cents.<br />cheersDr. Kendra Karrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09224508593129674382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193939705192575193.post-85624491330451085442011-07-27T16:53:26.541-04:002011-07-27T16:53:26.541-04:00At first I thought you were joking with us because...At first I thought you were joking with us because when the video came up it was Fabio with his Old Spice but then I realized it was just the commercial LOL<br /><br />Very interesting. I know nothing of this bill nor have I heard of it. I find it hard to comment on other countries politics. <br />Good luck in your research! <br />MichelleKCanada<br />http://anotherlookbookreviews.blogspot.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04462149255674900146noreply@blogger.com
